A Dream of Transmigration - Chapter 83
Everywhere are lights and pavilions, painted boats swaying gently, magnificent yet hazy.
Everything was beautiful; he shouldn't dislike this night scene. Although Miao Qing's attitude was unpleasant, it didn't affect Lin Feifei's mood at all. She just thought that she had spent so much time changing clothes today, and she couldn't let all that effort go to waste.
Deyilou.
At the entrance, guests came and went in groups of three or five, with satisfied smiles on their faces, some with a woman swaying in the breeze on their arms.
here?
Lin Feifei was puzzled. It didn't look like a brothel, but it didn't seem very proper either.
"This round of drinks is on me, buddy!"
"..."
Hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.
Alcohol? A place to eat? Never mind, I'll go in and find him first. Lin Feifei made up her mind and happily went inside.
.
The hall was brightly lit.
It was huge inside, and there was even a performance area. A beautiful woman was performing up there, and many people were craning their necks to watch. Several women who looked like madams were beckoning customers upstairs with practiced and obsequious smiles.
This doesn't seem like a typical brothel. What is it doing here?
Lin Feifei was naturally unaware that Deyilou was not only a restaurant but also a brothel. Their cooking skills were first-rate, their girls were first-rate, and their customers were first-rate. Therefore, Deyilou was the largest and most famous in Jinling.
Where exactly is Chu Ying?
Lin Feifei had a headache; she couldn't very well stand there and shout. "They must be upstairs," she guessed, and went upstairs, ignoring the strange looks from the madams nearby.
It's unbelievable that a woman would come to a place like this alone.
.
A green streak appears by the window.
Her upright figure is like a green peak in a painting; her elegant posture is like a clump of green bamboo outside the window; her languid expression is like a leisurely cloud on the horizon.
The gentle strains of a zither added a touch of tranquility to the fiery summer night. Lights shone brightly both inside and outside the room. He stood with his hands behind his back, gazing out the window at the boundless nightscape of the Qinhuai River.
The music stopped abruptly.
"Young Master Chu, what are you looking at?" a soft voice asked.
He curled the corner of his mouth but didn't answer.
"We've come all this way, and we sisters specially invited you, but you won't drink!" A beautiful girl of about sixteen or seventeen, with a somewhat childish air, pouted as she walked up to him.
He looked at the girl and sighed, "Little girl, you should smile more, that's what makes you look prettier."
Sure enough, the girl laughed.
"Fourth Sister is only so obedient in front of Young Master Chu," the most beautiful woman stood up from beside the zither. "If she doesn't change her temper, she'll be kicked out of her husband's family in the future."
The fourth sister glared with her beautiful eyes: "Sister Yue'er only talks about me. You always remember Young Master Chu's words clearly. Do you think I don't know anything about you?"
Yue'er blushed.
"All you do is talk nonsense!"
He didn't speak, but instead crossed his arms and watched the two arguing with great interest.
Unexpectedly, the fourth sister grinned at Yue'er and quietly moved closer to him: "Young Master Chu, Sister Yue'er was just telling me last time..."
"You brat!" Yue'er blushed and pulled her away. "She's just spouting nonsense, don't listen to her."
The other two women at the table couldn't help but ask curiously, "What nonsense has Fourth Sister been spouting again? Tell us."
Yue'er hurriedly said, "Don't believe her, she never says anything good."
"Sister Yue'er said," Fourth Sister turned to the other side of the table and winked at her playfully, "that she wonders how formidable Young Master Chu's wife is."
"You brat, you're talking nonsense!" Yue'er exclaimed anxiously.
Both of them were stunned, but then they realized what was happening and looked at Chu Ying with smiles: "Sister Yue'er is so thoughtful. We also want to know if Madam Chu is tolerant enough."
He gave a wry smile.
Seeing that he remained silent, a woman quickly changed the subject with a smile: "The other day I heard Young Master Yang complaining that Young Master Chu, who has always been a womanizer, has changed his ways and no longer goes to the Star-Picking Tower, making him wait there for a long time."
He glanced at the women and said, "Times have changed."
The fourth sister blinked: "Could it be that there really is a tigress in the house?"
They burst into laughter.
He actually nodded: "Exactly."
silence.
He chuckled inwardly. Ever since he rescued them from Zhaixinglou and helped them open a cloth shop to make a living, he never expected them to have such thoughts. He probably should really come less often in the future...
Taking a concubine?
An intriguing glint appeared in my eyes.
